How to make the people accept, nay, DESIRE socialism

The only thing which surprises me about the socialist transformation of my country is the lack of any kind of resistance to it from the educated class who should know better. Here’s a little story: I have a college-educated family member who recently found himself unemployed. This individual had always been a liberal but lately he supports the Marxist policies of the president even more, and I suspected that his dire economic circumstances had something to do with it. Since I am someone who knows that socialism only destroys jobs and lowers wages, I couldn’t figure out why he bought into the president’s Red propaganda. After thinking about a visit I had with him the other day, I believe I have the answer.

“Duh!” was what finally popped into my head. “Of course the radicals in the current administration want as many Americans out of work as possible,” I thought. “Think of how much easier it will be to make people permanently dependent on government!”

I have good reason to believe that President Obama is purposefully increasing the unemployment rate to create an army of desperate, easily controllable people like my relative in the above story. Folks with full bellies are not so eager to become slaves; they have the strength to resist totalitarianism. If the history of the 20th century has taught us anything, it is that a starving populace will bow down to virtually any type of dictator who promises food. With every percentage increase in the unemployment rate, disasters like socialized healthcare, massive taxes, forced unionization, and anything else the tyrants desire creep that much closer because hungry people will swallow anything, even the kind of garbage we are being fed by this administration.
